Where in the hell is media about

[samplegirl]

Goodsteins home?
Morning Joe talking about everything but!

So we all know how this is probably gonna go!

[SocialDemocrat61]

1. You expect the corrupt corporate media

to actually report news, especially news that doesn’t fit their agenda. But if the home was bombed by someone who gave $5 to a democratic town council candidate in 1993, they’ll go 24/7 on how violent the left is.

[samplegirl]

2. Morning Joe

Is so awful!!! Guess we won't hear anything till Maddow reports!

[Cheezoholic]

10. Nicole Wallace will hit it at 4ET for sure. She is big on these threats to judges and talks about them weekly n/t

[spanone]

3. Here's some....a lot more if you google

[mwmisses4289]

6. Two of the articles point out that she has criticized trump.

So they went there. Interesting.

[malaise]

18. Yes I saw a lot of coverage ihe print media

but very little on network or cable TV

[BootinUp]

24. Clues that the story is not what DU

Thinks it is. But I am just guessing. (2nd rate news sources)

[Ms. Toad]

37. There was a 24 hour lag in reporting by MSM -

Unheard of in today's world is instant reporting.

When the first reports came out, I kept searching for a source I had some faith in (i.e. not the New York Post, the Daily Mail, or the Hindustan times). Nada. Not just in the allegations it might have been deliberate - but nothing on the fire.

It was around 24 hours after the tabloid speculation that I found a report I didn't inherently distrust.

4. Cable "News" is NOT news

Yes, they talk about events of the day, but it is ALWAYS done through the prism of an "expert," analyst or pundit. They have 24/7 of airtime to fill when not running commercials. They never just stick to the who, what, when and why and then move on. It all has to disected for angles (real and imagined), "exclusives," reading the tea leaves (contemplating what MIGHT be done next) or straight-up propaganda. They pick and choose what they want to cover and decide what is newsworthy. In this environment, that is supressing bad news for Trump and amplifying propaganda.

[PatSeg]

9. Yes, lots of panels of experts

who all pretty much say the same thing in their own words, but surprisingly little actual news considering the amount of time they have to fill.

[Kaleva]

33. Cable news is for people who prefer not to think for themselves

It’s easier for pundits to explain the situation to them.

[Fla Dem]

5. Not just the news, but all our Democratic politicians should be saying " This is what Trump has wrought."

[SCantiGOP]

20. You do realize

That odds are overwhelming that this was an accident, probably a gas leak. Otherwise, it would be the #1 story.
Everything we see is not necessarily a conspiracy.

[Gimpyknee]

25. You could hardly claim that due to the amount of comments here today and yesterday.

[Torchlight]

26. Nope

[RVN VET71]

27. And that's exactly the problem

If the claim is made that it was a gas leak explosion, who's going to believe it on the Left? If it turns out it was human caused, who's going to believe it on the right?

Personally, I'll need hard ass proof it wasn't deliberate. Even gas leaks can be engineered by sick people with axes to grind in favor of their favorite Christ-come-again Cankleman. But I'll wait for the investigators' report and see what evidence it contains -- one way or t'other.

[CentralMass]

28. In the current political environment it is not a stretch to think that it was not an accident.

[twodogsbarking]

7. Where I grew up the media would be called chicken shits.

[RVN VET71]

23. It's not the cowardice

but the actual negligence. I don't recall how many firebombs were thrown and bullets were fired at Kavanaugh's house, but THAT got a load of coverage on cable "news" so there . . .what's that? No firebombs or bullets, just protesters keeping a distance away from the home? And the Right-Wing media milked that as if the entire family had been stripped naked, dragged from the house, and forced to drink bad beer while singing The Internationale.

Burn down the house of a judge who blocked Trump and company in their efforts to remove the Bill of Rights from the Constitution -- and almost killing her and her family in the process? Crickets.

Maybe the news will pick up as the day progresses.

Fox News, of course, will remind its drooling viewers about poor Justice Kavanaugh and tell them that, "See, see, see!!! The Left struck first!!!!!" And those mental goobers will all look at each other with a kind of relief ("see, Mable, them libs done started it!) felt only by the congenitally stupid and mentally numb who are just happy that the Mindless Minions of Fox have reminded them once again that, ahem, MAGA good, Democracy bad.

If I were a younger man, I'd be packing my bags for Yellowknife, Canada. America is looking near done for -- unless there is a God and She's as pissed as I am.*

*Even if She were to smite the fascists, I'd still like to visit Yellowknife, "North America's Aurora Capital."

[twodogsbarking]

30. The media is in on it. Have been all of my life. Once a very unpopular stance but now accepted.

Lies are accepted when the truth is not spoken.

[RVN VET71]

38. I'm a patient man and will give the media another day to emphasize

the likely connection between this horrible act of terror for what it is. After that, well, the media can stew in the juices of a hell of its own cowardly making.

[Mtnmama]

8. Yes, this is actual BREAKING NEWS,

Instead of the bogus "breaking news" that is aired 24/7. Will be watching for CNN, MSNBC to provide more coverage!!

[Clouds Passing]

11. Cover-up

[yorkster]

12. It was mentioned around 10am on CNN

Indicating it would be covered after a commercial break. Nothing on MJ, at least while it was on in the background.

[hadEnuf]

13. The media clearly covering for the murderous extreme right.

This is big news and they basically ignore or downplay it.

With a few exceptions, the media is basically gone in this country.

[Joinfortmill]

15. Can't trust MSM. Youtube may be last bastion of t.v. real news.

[markodochartaigh]

22. Last bastion

I think that would be FSTV.

[Wiz Imp]

16. There is nothing on the main page at MSNBC, FOX, NY Times, Washington Post, AP, News Nation, CBS News

NBC News, or USA Today. They may have stories on it, but you have to dig on their websites to find them.

The only 2 outlets I found with a story on their main page were CNN & ABC News, and on CNN it was near the very bottom of the page. ABC News was the only outlet that had a story anywhere near the top of their main page

[Greg_In_SF]

17. There will be more coverage

I'm sure once the fire department conducts their investigation. I'm seeing it in the news but, at this point, there's not much more to report other than the house burned down.

19. Donald is pissed! SO...

Judge Diane Goodstein's Home Burns to Ground After Ruling Against Trump

Source: Newsweek

Published Oct 06, 2025 at 03:21 AM EDT updated Oct 06, 2025 at 05:11 AM EDT


The home of a South Carolina judge was destroyed after it went up in flames on Saturday.

A fire engulfed the home of Judge Diane Goodstein, who serves on the state Circuit Court, and led to three people being hospitalized with injuries, including her husband, per The Post and Courier. The cause of the fire is not immediately known, and the State Law Enforcement Division (SLED) said it is investigating the incident. Newsweek contacted SLED via email on Monday outside regular working hours.

Why It Matters

The fire comes weeks after Goodstein issued a ruling against the Trump administration.

Authorities have not yet determined the cause of the blaze, and there is currently no evidence to suggest it was an act of arson. Still, it has sparked conversation about online hostility toward members of the judiciary who rule against Trump and his allies.

21. This Happened Saturday

And here we are on Monday.

Now I’m all for waiting until the investigation is completed and everything is released to draw conclusions but there sure do seem to be some underlying circumstances here to have some concern.

[yellow dahlia]

29. And this from Newsweek - the bastion of liberalism.

I expect we will eventually hear more from MSNBC and CNN. They be being cautious until more info is in. Although the first articles I read, even yesterday, said it is being investigated as arson.

35. has anyone said what the cause of the fire was?

[Greg_In_SF]

36. No

It's only been three days. Fire/arson investigations take time.
